Sioux Falls u16 team is brutal. I have watched them 3 weekends this fall and they get destroyed by the good mn Tier 1 teams. U16 Blades , which is not a great team, has destroyed them each time they have played. Have they been fortunate last couple seasons to get a couple high end players come play a season, yes, but the team as a whole is average and that is why they are ranked 40th in the country currently and that doesn't count the non national bound teams.arcticpurple wrote: ↑Fri Oct 14, 2022 9:43 pm
not strange at all..for being a low end team, they seem to be doing well against the MN Tier 1 non-national bound teams. The level of competition they play all year is top notch...metal sharpens metal. Coaching is great and surrounding yourself with kids and coaches who have the same goal can't hurt ones development on and off the ice. Good for him! Chase your dream kid.

Re: 2022-23 Early Departures
Looking at myhockeyrankings - it looks like their first weekend of games were in the Blades Showcase and they played the MN Blades once and lost 4-1, assuming with open net goal so 3-1 - not sure that's getting destroyed. They have beat Blue Army twice and Team MN (old blizzard group) and lost to the U16 Lakers (not MN HP, the better team) 5-4. Those appear to be the only MN Teams they have played so, I'm not seeing where MN Tier 1 Teams are destroying them. They have played in the Blades showcase, USHL showcase in Pitt and Fargo showcase before this past weekend. So it would appear that you have a player on Blue Army - that has lost twice to them - it's the only that's been at all 3 weekends with SF Power.

Yall are DIALED into 100% meaningless hockey scores. Zero of these games matter. 0

Good luck to both Logan and Sam this year !
Re: 2022-23 Early Departures
They could hardly get the puck past center ice against Blades. The team is not good and I have no horse in the race. Again I have seen them play multiple times. Also, myhockey rankings doesn't have all their games listed.oldmaverick wrote: ↑Mon Oct 17, 2022 8:03 am Looking at myhockeyrankings - it looks like their first weekend of games were in the Blades Showcase and they played the MN Blades once and lost 4-1, assuming with open net goal so 3-1 - not sure that's getting destroyed.

Re: 2022-23 Early Departures
You have a captain leaving 6 weeks into school year to a rival section team their 6th non home grown player. Andover may not win it if Casey doesn’t transfer for his sr yr. You have guys doing 200 ft goal celebrations constantly l, counting goals on hands, and doing the gritty 6 mn left in state chip to go up 1. Slimy is all around unfortunately.mnpuckster wrote: ↑Thu Oct 20, 2022 9:57 am This AAA stuff is so slimy and predatory. AAU basketball level of gross. Johnny is the best dad!!

Re: 2022-23 Early Departures
They had kids playing JV last year that played Bantam AA both years. They have a lot of talent there and a disproportionate number of players for a town their size. They could lose three more kids and still be the favorite in 7A, but there are teams that have the ability to beat them in a one game series. It would take a great effort and some luck, but not as unthinkable as it’s been for awhile now.HockeyTalk2020 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 20, 2022 9:02 pmMaybe for once there will be a fighting chance finally for a legit Class A tourney. Still a really nice team and likely favorites.

Re: 2022-23 Early Departures
Don't think for a second it's the kids "truly" making these decisions to forgo their final season of High School
These decision are 99.99% driven by parents in a "rush"
Guess what dad...You are going to wake up years from now and say what the heck did I do? Why did I wipe out a year of my kids life?
Hey dad...Colleges are still backed up....Unless your kid is a lock to be drafted top 20 in the NHL, your kid will have to play AT LEAST one (sometimes two) full year of juniors AFTER his projected graduating year
So let your kid come back his senior year. Let him dominate High School hockey... Let him go to prom...Let him go to homecoming..Let him have a chance to play at the X ....Let him sit in a classroom and learn...Let him sit around the dinner table with your family once a week...Let mom yell at him for his room being messy....Let him play pond hockey one more winter with his buddies....Let him play a second sport (Okay that last one is a little ridiculous to think any parent today is pushing their kid to play another sport)....
Just let him be a kid for one more year dad...I guarantee you it will have zero impact on if he's in the NHL 7-8 years from now....And for all you parents out there saying "but the High School coach doesn't care". That high school coach you rip non stop will be the last coach that TRULY cares about your kid....after High School... it's every man, coach and kid for themselves...
Minnesota High School hockey is hands down the best path for 98% of all 15-18 year old kids in our state... And for you parents reading this thinking "that's not me..." or "but my son is the chosen one" ....don't let the door hit you on the way out and thank you in advance for giving another kid your kids' jersey.

Yeah, if a kid gets too good sometimes Dad just can’t help himself. He’ll get to watch him score about 200 goals on the B team this year.

He’s only on B due to the sit out rule to transfers right?

I have no idea if it’s Mom or Dad, my statement was in jest. Yes, open enrolled can’t play on the top team. No A teams there this year. Screws up the whole District’s B program with a kid like that out there. I don’t know who J is, but I hope he sticks around too!headsupsticksdown wrote: ↑Sat Oct 22, 2022 7:57 pmIs it Dad?
